I had no bean sprouts but added some red bell pepper for color & crunch. Also, didn’t have lemon grass, but it was still very good. Quite a refreshing salad & a good way to use left over steak.
Excellent. The dressing sauce is outstanding. I did add a bit of brown sugar to round up the tartness of the sauce a bit. Will do it again.
